Apr 21, 2021 After leading the Austin Westlake Chaparrals to their second-straight 6A state championship this past season, and out-dueling former Longhorn commitment Quinn Ewers, Cade Klubnik emerged as one of the hottest quarterback prospects in the 2022 class. "It’s awesome. It’s everything I’ve kind of dreamed of," Klubnik told Longhornscountry.com in an exclusive interview. And with schools like Texas, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Penn State, and many more chasing him, there was no shortage of elite suitors for his signature.
